Waves
Across
- 4. the number of complete waves that pass a particular point in a unit of time
- 7. a wave in which the medium's particles move in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's movement
- 9. the effect produced by the combination of two or more waves
- 10. section in a longitudinal wave where the particles are tightly packed together
- 12. the maximum distance a wave vibrates from its rest position
- 14. the time it takes two successive wave crests or troughs to pass a given point
- 16. the bending of a wave because of a change in the wave's speed as it passes from one medium to another
- 18. the highest point of a transverse wave
- 19. the distance between a trough and a crest
- 21. the distance between corresponding points on a wave
Down
- 1. the conversion of a wave's energy into another form of energy
- 2. the point where destructive interference causes no displacement
- 3. the place where constructive interference causes the largest wave
- 5. a disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space
- 6. a wave in which the medium's particles move in a circular motion
- 8. a section in a longitudinal wave where the particles are loosely packed together
- 11. the bending of a wave around a barrier
- 13. a wave in which the movement of the medium's particles is parallel to the direction of the wave's movement
- 15. the bouncing back of a wave after it hits a barrier that does not absorb all of its energy
- 17. any substance through which a wave can travel
- 20. the lowest point of a transverse wave
